For the following problem, the slope and one point on a line is given. Use the point-slope form to find the equation of that line. (Write your answer in slope-intercept form.)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(-6,5), m = -43
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "y - y1 = m*(x-x1) where m = slope and (x1,y1) is the point
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "y-5 = -43*(x+6) = -43x - 258
\n" ); document.write( "y = -43x - 253
\n" ); document.write( "======================================
\n" ); document.write( "Find y if the line through (5,7) and (9,y) has a slope of 6.
\n" ); document.write( "Slope = change in y/change in x
\n" ); document.write( "6 = (7-y)/(5-9) = (7-y)/(-4)
\n" ); document.write( "-24 = 7-y
\n" ); document.write( "-31 = -y
\n" ); document.write( "y = 31
\n" ); document.write( "----------
\n" ); document.write( "Don't be nervous, it's just arithmetic.
\n" ); document.write( "
